About Matti Santagata

We're lifelong Brooklyn residents, married for 45 years, and we spent many summers exploring Florida's two coasts for our dream retirement home. We searched for the perfect beach with a delightfully casual community. When we first arrived on Siesta Key, and especially when we first rented at Our House at the Beach, we knew it was what we were searching for!

Matti Santagata purchased this condo in 2011

Why Matti Santagata chose Florida South Central Gulf Coast

We spent five winters renting at Our House at the Beach and finally decided we had to own a condo here. We now spend time here during each Fall and Winter, enjoying the fabulous beach, the other community residents, the great Siesta Village and the many other Sarasota area attractions.

What makes this condo unique

When we decided to buy, we chose a quiet upstairs unit away from the hustle and bustle of the very lively Beach Road. Our main balcony has a sunny Southern exposure, facing the lake, with our tables and chairs making it perfect for enjoying an afternoon Margarita after a day on the beach! Having our own garage enables us to store all our beach supplies without cluttering our condo. All this is here for you to use and enjoy just as it's here for us to use and enjoy!

Loved this condo!

We stayed over spring break week 2017. The location is great--walking distance to the breathtaking Siesta Key Beach! We really loved the warm swimming pool and the grill/eating area. The condo is beautifully decorated, very comfortable with everything you need and lots of room. We had an awesome vacation there and would love the stay there again!

Best place ever

This is the best place we've ever been to. Siesta Key is a paradise and the condo is wonderful. It has become our second home , staying here makes us totally relaxed and the only problem is that we never want to leave. The condo has everything we need and it is lovely decorated. With a full kitchen you don't need to go to restaurants , it's easy to prepare your meals right there. There are plenty of drawers to put away your clothes and other stuff . Lovely balcony with view of the lake with turtles. The pool is nice, we've used it in the morning for morningswims before it gets too hot for exercise. The beautiful beach is a short walk away , we recommend going there for a very early morningwalk to see all the lovely birds and the beautiful colors when the sun raises. There are also other very nice beaches to visit in the area. A five minutes drive from the condo is the lovely , small Village with nice restaurants , bars and small shops. Great for a stroll after beach. Be sure to get an icecream at Big Olaf's! We also have to mention that it's great to have a garage for the car and don't have to leave it outside in the sun. We love this place and highly recommend it.

Owner's Response: Thank you for such a glowing review. We are so happy that you love our home as much as we do. Please come back often.

Our vacation paradise

We've been here for the third time and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Siesta Key is truly our favourite place and the condo is nothing less than perfect. We feel just like home , everything you could possibly need is there and most important -it's a home, not a hotel. It's a short walk to the beach with lovely , white sand and a short drive to the Village with several good restaurants and small shops. Great Publix stores at both bridges. Lots of things to do and see nearby. We love this place so much and will be back next summer.

Owner's Response: We are so happy that you feel that our home is your home. We have tried to make it a "Home". We, too, enjoy staying there when we can. Yes the beach is the best and it is our favorite place. It is beautiful, relaxing and so convenient. The village is a relaxing place to walk for a drink, food or to buy a souvenir.
There are so many wonderful first rate restaurants to eat at a short drive away, and there are great museums, dance performances, plays,fairs and the opera to enjoy.It really is Paradise.

Paradise

I am so pleased with the accommodations. The condo is beautiful and very clean. So peaceful and relaxing. Everything I need is right here. Hoping to make this my go to spot for a relaxing getaway every year.

Great condo, great location, great chill out.

After a week of the Orlando theme parks we wanted somewhere to really relax and unwind. Your condo and Siesta Key was a perfect match. Spacious, comfortable, air conditioned, well equipped, WiFi and a good base to explore a bit further afield if you wanted to. What’s not to like? The pool onsite was a bonus too. We loved saying hello to the lake turtles each morning. Grab some beach chairs from the garage then a few minutes stroll to the beach to enjoy the finest, whitest sand I think I've ever seen. Our daughter (aged 8) insisted on bringing a few scoops of the beach back home to England, as a setting for the variety of shells she collected.

Siesta Key village is around a 30 minute walk I would guess. We preferred the local bus service though. Routes 10 & 11 stop right outside the complex entrance and takes just a few minutes and $1.25. It couldn’t be easier. There’s a good variety of restaurants, bars (if you don’t have young kids) and market stalls. A quick stop at Ciao Gelato for dessert was the norm.

Anna Maria Island was a trip out with beautiful scenery, beaches and we took lunch at The Sandbar, located right on the beach. There’s a load of other stuff to do of course but we only had a week…..

No need to research any other accommodation at Siesta Key, we've found ours! We had a great time and would definitely return. Recommended.

Owner's Response: Kathryn thank you for the lovely review. It is our home away from home so we try to make it as comfortable as possible. There is a lot to see outside of Siesta Key but I know that the beach is really great and very hard to leave. The sites, culture and restaurants are fabulous., and make this a great vacation for a week and even longer.We hope that we will see you again at Our House at the Beach.

Paradise on earth !

Once again we stayed at your wonderful condo in Siesta Key. We cannot imagine finding anything better than this anywhere, it is truly paradise on earth. There are a few things we would point out, though : The pictures on your webpage does not give full credit to your condo and the surroundings - it is way better in real life than what you see on the pictures. You haven't mentioned "the local wildlife" either : The turtles in the lake come to greet you when you go outside, and the birds sing beautifully in the trees outside the kitchen window. This is indeed very nice when you have your breakfast in the morning. You have also not mentioned the very effective air conditioning system in the condo. When we were there it was very hot outside, but inside the condo the temperature was nice and cool. We can recommend your guests to go down to the beach early in the morning to see all the different birds down there - and the sunrise is truly beautiful. We have even seen dolphins swimming close to the beach several times. We will definitely be back another time - maybe not next year, but we will be back !

Owner's Response: WOW! Thanks for the great review! We plan to update some of the exterior area photos when we return in October, since there will be some great new facilities just across the street at the beach. The suggestion of having breakfast out on the patio overlooking the lake sounds great... a chance to enjoy the exotic tropical birds and the large resident family of turtles, the largest of which has a shell almost two feet long! And yes, the beach is a real treat from sunrise to sunset... no-one should miss it at these very special times of the day!
The beach and adjacent park and picnic areas are all being upgraded this summer, and the plans really have us excited.
To all our guests, your comments about the things that gave you unexpected enjoyment will add to the enjoyment of the guests that follow you, and they may then do the same for you when you return.

Only a ten minute drive to downtown Sarasota with its culture, dining and shopping opportunities. Myakka River State Park is 25 miles away, with hiking, biking, kayaking, wildlife viewing, camping. Disneyland and nearby theme parks are a 2 hour drive away.
